Philips ShoqBox PSS110 Review
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "HARDWARE" @ 09:30 AM
"I rarely use the clock radio in a hotel room. One, I don’t trust that it will work, and two, I don’t want to spend the time figuring out the typically Byzantine path to programming it. Lately I’ve been using my cell phone for an alarm, but I prefer music to the beep of my Treo. And I prefer my music to what plays on most commercial radio stations. The confluence of these preferences leads me to Philips’ ShoqBox Personal Sound System: A combination alarm clock, speaker system and MP3 player in a travel-size case."
DesignTechnica has published a review of the Philips ShoqBox PSS110, which is a travel size combo MP3 player, alarm clock/radio, and speaker system. Like most "all-in-one" units, it performs each of these functions "ok", but doesn't do anything particularly well. It's also far more expensive than your average flash mp3 player, portable clock/radio, or portable speakers. The kicker: it locked up at the end of their review. Looks like it's back to the drawing board for Philips. :roll:
